Grapefruit Diet information
The Grapefruit diet is based around the
premise that grapefruit contains fat burning properties and
is similar to the cabbage soup diet. There are several versions
of this diet and their duration varies from 7 to 21 days.
Most of these diets are very low in calories, usually about
800-1000 calories. The diet recommends high quantities of
caffeine drinks like coffee (no milk or sugar).
Grapefruit Diet : Reasons for
- You will lose
weight following this diet
- Easy to follow
Grapefruit Diet : Reasons against
- Boring selection
of available foods
- Not enough vitamins
or minerals
- Weight loss is
mainly water and will return when normal diet resumes
- Low calorie diets
can cause fatigue, nausea and constipation
Grapefruit Diet : Verdict
Grapefruit does not contain any fat burning
properties and all weight that is lost is due to the diets
800 -1000 calorie intake. Grapefruit is a healthy fruit that
is fat free and low in calories but any similar diet based
on any fruit would work. It would also be unhealthy and not
give the required nutrition. If you are after a short-term
plan like this the cabbage soup diet is a better version.
Though with both diets the weight soon returns.
